This evening my wouldn't start. I got a flashing red light on the dash display and something along the lines of 'engine temperature high' came up on the trip computer screen. The engine light then came on and the car wouldn't start at all. In fact, I don't even think the key would turn far enough 'round for it to start.

After a few seconds of panicking, I tried it again and this time the engine started, just, but the engine warning light stayed on. I read the handbook and it says that the engine has developed a malfunction and should be looked at immediately?

Anyone had any similar probs with their ?

I guess it'll have to go in and be looked at. When it does, they can sort the crappy steering fluid out while they're at it, even when they should've done it in the first place.....

Alternator shot at a guess.

If it showed a warning about engine temp then the coolant temperature sensor may have bust. Is the fan on the whole time now?

I've no idea!

It's going into the garage tomorrow morning. Luckily it's covered by the warranty.

Hope they fix it ok for you.
